What if it only showed who is a thief within a radius of your truck which would make it neigh upon impossible to abuse.

I have the bad habiting of saying my ideas ingame then taking a few days to post them on the forum. Someone made a similar thread before I did so use that one.

I think that if you're in a securivan you should be able to see all thiefs on your minimap within a certain radius around you. For example, when someones icon turns to a square(indicating you're receiving constant updates from them, not just minimap location ones) their icon should change colour to brown if they're a thief. If they aren't a thief it would remain exactly the same. This should help securicar drivers find possible attackers before they're, well, attacked.

+1 To my own idea.

Ack, I said it ingame first so I suppose he got to the forum before I did. I'll lock the thread.

My suggestion is to change the securivan unload style to that of the Thief missions so that you cannot be hijacked while unloading which has become a common occurrence by thiefs who aren't willing to put the time into attempting to stop and hijack the securivan entirely on their own.

+1. It would definitely help alleviate some of the chat spam from wannabes asking what to do.

My mistake, I completely forgot to take into account the time period per payment.

With a small bit of technical knowledge, it is very possible to farm interest...

Indeed but 99% of people aren't capable of doing this so I was keeping that 1% out of this for now.

He wants higher so he can get more money, wich means he is too lazy to work.

All I've done is work, basically, so don't make false assumptions with no evidence to back them up.

So by saying "more reasonable" you suggest that I lower it? I already said that it's already higher in real life, so it's more than "reasonable".

I must ask you where you get your information..? Average interest rate here in Canada hovers in the area of 1%. It varies slightly from bank to bank, from offer to offer, but it generally stays in the same area. I'll link to an example of an bank that's offering a 1.5% interest rate for a limited time but normally has a 1.2% interest rate at $5000.00 or higher.

interest farming...no thanks.

You get kicked for inactivity after 5 minutes so there won't be farming. Plus, I'm not talking about some ridiculous amount of interest, just a more reasonable rate(10,000 for having 3.4 million is fair, IMO).

Heya, I'd like to suggest an increase to the interest rate because the way it is at the moment you earn a ridiculously low value from interest(0.0003%) which is really next to worthless. For example, by the time you're earning 1,000 from interest you'll already have just under 3.4 million in the bank so that 1,000 pales in comparison and becomes next to insignificant. I think a 0.003%-0.005% interest rate might be a bit more reasonable as it would give a much more significant income. Especially with the high house prices these days it would be very helpful to have a greater interest rate. Thanks for the consideration, if even.
